Sprite Extruder Heater Block Kit Standaard 260 ℃ Cartridge Heater Thermistor Heatbreak Siliconen Cover Compatibel met Creality Ender 3 S1 en Plus 3D Printer (260 ℃)

I bought this because it has an easy way to change the thermistor without glue or whatever. It makes fixing a problem a lot better.

After months of fighting phantom issues, I figured out my nozzle was sitting too high up, and the parts cooling fan kept crashing into my prints! The last print resulted in a giant glob that smothered the whole hot-end. I decided to replace all these parts, and voila! Perfect Prints again! no brainer purchase!

All of the components look fine, but it needs to be noted that this is NOT an all-metal hotend. The heatbreak has a PTFE sleeve, which means this will ABSOLUTELY not maintain printing at 260 degrees; you're going to melt the PTFE if you try. The original Sprite shipped with a hotend like this, the newer Sprite Pro has an all-metal heatbreak that WILL do 260 degrees or higher. Spend the extra money and get the all-metal equivalent, or even the bimetal one. I'm keeping this because I needed something to replace my heatbreak which sheared off, but this is definitely not for printing ABS!

Not one for reviews, but… These are not official Creality parts. I bought 2 of them, the first failed after the second use with PETG. The second failed after the first print with PLA where my Y axis motor failed, not sure if it was a clog that caused the motor failure or a motor failure that caused a clog. I returned and bought official creality parts for a slight amount more. I would recommend sticking to official parts.

Tube not cut to length, nozzle missing, loose thread. Not sure if it is worth to try.Sorry I will not buy again.
